      ​@@melodyrachel You're smart to question things and to not immediately label what you hear as truth. For me, I believe in Jesus and that He is God, because I gave Him a chance and He took it and has made many miracles in my life, He showed me what His Presence is like, and for that I simply have no foundation for uncertainty, so I just pray and hope that He blesses you with such a strong foundation in Him, so that you wouldn't falter or doubt💞🙏

    I think the Christ energy is real, I don't think it's unique to Christianity only. I once read a Greek Orthodox pamphlet that compared the light of God reflected in humans to the way light from the sun reflects off the moon.
    There have been other enlightened masters in different times and places.
    I once was very depressed and received a hug from Jesus in a dream, it was like getting a hug from pure love itself. They assured me that everyone goes through rough moments in life but ultimately it will be okay.

    If you're crazy, then we're the same brand of crazy! Sin takes our ability to bear fruit - humans like to propagate all sorts of habits and create gods to somehow replace our own shortcomings, which in place takes us further away from the wonderful creation we each were made to be.
    What if we could be better beings, who are fulfilling our best potential in the likeness of Christ? I, alongside many millions, cannot help but feel convicted that life seems to make more sense this way.
    Jesus is the only figure in history to have bridged that gap - and my over-intellectualising self has come right back to Jesus, the bridge that God Himself built to have a personal relationship with each individual creation. It appears that our Creator holds you right in His great hands Melody!
    May you continue to blossom and bear wonderful fruit, that one can only be moved to share in the nourishment that you can offer! Strength be with you as you carry the cross.

    I heard from wise people of the Church how to discern what is what or in this case who is who. Idols you mentioned, Melody, and thousands more, would not bring deep peace and sense of direction. That is my own experience and my little looking around I am sharing here. Coming back to the wisdom of the Church, deep peace is one of the signs that we have discerned well. Deep peace is different than a temporary satisfaction and calm. I recognise Jesus by the peace that world cannot give me. Once you have experienced it, you know that you know that you know. It does not come cheap. But is worth it. May Good God bless you and keep you, Melody.

    “Whether He’s real or not,” love how you said this. He is the ULTIMATE IMAGE of GOD. We can only learn from Him, due to the role He’s taken as a human. God’s Word personified. The historical Bible is the Story of the Triune God (picture Jesus here) and our relationship to Him. That real relationship only possible by the blood of His sacrifice. This isn’t a mental thing sis. It a heart to heart experience of love and truth manifest. John 8:31-32. Dig in the Word and the gems of truth you’ll find. Pray God leads you with clarity and discernment so you may continue to be rooted deep in His love and testimony. Sister, please don’t hesitate to contact me about your questions or feelings, I’ve been where you’re at before. I that suffocating feeling of doubt.

    The best way to strenghten your faith is to read the bible and pray everyday. Then you will grow, grow, grow~
    For example if you want to know someone better what do you do? You talk to them, interact with them, spend time with them. It's exactly the same with getting to know Jesus through prayer and reading the bible.
    Joining a Christian cellgroup is also a great way to grow your relationship with Christ, because you can interact with people who have been Christians for much longer and can better answer your questions :D

    Actually, the logic points to his existence. The fact that all his disciples chose to die defending his resurrection, not very pleasent deaths. Multiple history writers metioned him. The church was persecuted from its very begining and even with that difficulties continued to grow. Obviously, in ancient times, people were not stupid, you had to do some crazy miracles to make them change gods... witch they did. There have been much more miracles all over the history. So many people has expierience the grace of god, its beyond understanding. And the list could continue for ever... The actual point is. God exists, he chose to make himself as one of us to experience human life, carried with all of our sins, as he is just and by his law sin made you die. and its such a good awesome loving god, that having done everything for us, lets you choose to believe in him or not. And will die again just for you!

    I just searched word craziness in the new testament in my native language translation and made literal translation of all those passages to English.
    Because word about the cross is craziness to those who are way to damnation, but for us who are saved it's the power of God. 1.cor 1:18
    We on the other hand preach crucified Christ who is offense to Jews and craziness to gentiles. 1.cor 1:23
    But natural human do not receive what belongs to spirit of God, because it's craziness to him, and he cannot understand it because it has to be studied spiritually. 1cor2:14
    Because this worlds wisdom is craziness in the eyes of God. Because it's been written: " He imprisons wise to their into their cunningness." 1. cor 3:19
    Yeah. We're all crazy in the eyes of the world, but it's better to be crazy in the eyes of the world than being crazy in the eyes of the Lord.

  • @Robotwesley
    @Robotwesley 10 дней назад +1

    It is very possible that Jesus, the person, is not in fact real. Historians and theologians have shown that many of the tales and motifs of the New Testament existed in other texts, before the time of Christ, and it is very likely that the story of Jesus was crafted from these pre-existing stories. HOWEVER, that does not mean there is any problem with being a Christian, loving Jesus, and living a pious life. Christianity is a religion that aims to spread love, faith, and peace in the minds of its followers and the world at large, in order to make a flourishing civilization possible, and that is a beautiful and virtuous thing.
    I am not a Christian, not even religious at all, but I am descended from a line of Episcopalian ministers (my grandfather, my great grandfather, my great great grandfather, and my great great great grandfather), and so I have a deep and abiding respect for religious folk of all kinds, creeds, and sects, so long as they share in the basic humanistic values of love for all other humans, respect for their rights and freedom, and a striving for peace in the world… and I think all atheists and agnostics should recognize those same virtues (although I of course do not speak for everyone).

      @GeraldJacobsYoutube 10 дней назад +1

      @@melodyrachel I agree that it is objectively true and I'm not advocating blind faith. The problem lies with skepticism being just as bad as blind faith because both influence your subjective perception.
      In usual cases it would be good to have doubts, but the problem arises when we approach objective spiritual truth with doubt, it actually causes us to turn a blind eye to any evidence of it being true. That's why the Bible warns so strongly against lukewarmness and doublemindedness, because we have a tendency to look for evidence to support our beliefs, so in other words we can perpetually remain in this state of doubt until we fully give the gospel a chance and believe with out any doubt, that is when we start to see it for what it is. We are saved by grace through faith and we are born-again once we believe in Jesus.
      We cannot believe and doubt him at the same time, it has to be all or nothing, because light and darkness does not mix. Your belief that it could be false is likely the reason you cannot see why it is true and that is a dangerous place to be spiritually, because there are actual fallen angels that can negatively influence us without Christ.

      Good question. A Christian is someone who believes in God the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. All three of them are known as the Holy Trinity.
